So sorry to hear of Ed's passing.  Everyone in the greater Milford area used to wake up to his voice every weekday morning.

Ed was a passionate journalist, a good friend and probably no one had more inside knowledge of local politics.

I'll never forget the first time I met Ed at the neighborhood 4th of July/birthday party, sitting on the edge of a neighbors pool. He was bold, carefree, and had a huge smile on his face.

He was a great neighbor and then my father in law.  He was always full of compliments and a joke.  I will always appreciate the positive times we all shared as a family.

Rest in peace Ed.

With sincere condolences to the family, Sue, Jim and Cindy, Scott, Mark and all the grandchildren.

Always a big smile and fun guy.  Fly high Ed💫

Much love to Sue and family 

Farewell Ed, you were a great friend and neighbor. You will be missed 💕

Deepest condolences to Sue, Jim, Scott and Mark.  RIP Ed.

Jacinta, Jade and Aidan.

The Road Goodbye

By Edward Thompson 1967

The road I took was named Goodbye;

The path looked strange, I wondered why,

It left familiar things behind.

A hand caught mine... I paid no mind.

The stranger never once did say

Just what had brought him on my way.

On we went, and some afraid--

I wish I hadn't come but stayed.

All the friends that I once knew

Took a road named Goodbye too.

There were no two roads the same,

Though all were called Goodbye by name.

The road went on, we went on too,

And I was sad, for then I knew

That never could I be the same

Having walked down Goodbye Lane.

And though I couldn't understand,

We walked together hand in hand.

We said no words, but just walked on,

I thought of things now passed and gone.

I thought of games I'd lost and won,

I thought of all the things I'd done.

I thought of those I loved and cared,

Of times we had, of things we shared.

1 thought of those I'd come to know.

Just knowing them, they'd help me so

I thought of things, of tears I'd shed...

Those same things now brought a smile instead.

The tasks I'd done, those left to do

I wondered how I'd make it through,

But something inside seems to say,

"Do the best you can from day to day.

The way was rough, I knew the score.

It never ends, there's always more.

But now I know that all in all

Everything in its place will fall.

I thought of all the happy days,

The sad ones now, seemed just a haze

And in a flash I came to see

How much the past had meant to me.

We walked along, I wondered where

The future led and what was there.

The past still echoed from behind

I was it, and it was mine.

But in my heart was still a fear,

And in my eye a shining tear

Yet on my face there was a smile

And we walked forward all the while.

I walked along the road Goodbye

I looked back once more and heaved a sigh,

Then I remembered at my side

My silent but constant guide.

The strangers hand I felt in mine

I looked into his face this time

I asked his name, he turned just so,

He smiled and said

"I'm called Your Friend
